Rough idle or hesitation
A sticking EGR valve is one possible cause, alongside other engine and airflow faults.

REMAP SERVICE ONLY · OFF-ROAD / COMPETITION
EGR delete
EGR delete remaps for eligible motorsport and off-road vehicles, from £149. Send your vehicle details to confirm compatibility and get a complete quote.
THE SERVICE
The exhaust gas recirculation system sends a controlled amount of exhaust gas back into the intake to help reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. Over time, deposits can restrict a valve or make it stick.
Possible signs include rough idling, hesitation, reduced power and an engine management light. Those symptoms are shared by other faults too, so the EGR valve should not be blamed from a symptom alone. Fault codes, airflow readings and the condition of related parts help a professional identify the cause.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Availability depends on the ECU and tuning fitted to the vehicle. Let us know about any existing faults, hardware alterations and intended use when enquiring.

WARNING LIGHT OR SYSTEM FAULT?
Send us a photo of the full dashboard message, your make, model, year and engine, plus any fault codes. Tell us when the issue happens and about any recent work.
We’ll discuss your enquiry and explain the remap options available for a suitable vehicle. A warning alone does not confirm the cause. Mechanical diagnosis or repairs may be needed, and emissions deletes are for eligible off-road / competition use only.
COMMON SIGNS · POSSIBLE CAUSES
A sticking EGR valve is one possible cause, alongside other engine and airflow faults.
Incorrect EGR flow can affect how an engine runs. The exact fault needs to be checked.
EGR-flow faults may store codes, but a code alone is not proof that the valve needs replacing.
THE REMAP EXPLAINED
An EGR delete remap disables the EGR function in the ECU on a supported motorsport or off-road vehicle. The method and any associated hardware requirements depend on the engine and ECU.
It does not repair a physically stuck or damaged valve, an EGR cooler leak or another mechanical fault. Any required mechanical work must be assessed and completed by a professional mechanic. Remap prices do not include that work.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Possible symptoms include uneven idling, hesitation, reduced power and an engine management light. They can also have other causes, so professional diagnosis is needed.
For an eligible supported motorsport or off-road vehicle, it disables the EGR function in the ECU. Requirements are checked for the actual vehicle before booking.
These codes relate to EGR flow being too low or too high. The cause can involve the valve, airflow measurement or associated controls. The code guides diagnosis; it does not identify a failed part by itself.
No. A physical leak or damaged component needs professional mechanical assessment and repair. An ECU remap is not a substitute.
No. Emissions-system deletes are for eligible motorsport and off-road use only, not public roads.
For eligible compatible applications, the DPF + EGR delete package starts at £229. Mechanical removal, blanking or other hardware work is not included.
